Discography

Lyrics — Amber Frequency

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

She writes her will in disappearing ink

The voltage drops when memory persists

The voltage drops when memory persists

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

She folds the map and drives without a name

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

He trades his coat for silence and a key

The voltage drops when memory persists
